“It was a great, crazy win,” D-S coach Tom Bourque said. “D-S has never had a hockey game go into double overtime and to do it in the tournament is extra special. Everyone just gave it their all out there on both teams.”

The Tomahawks move on to face No. 2 Westford Academy on Wednesday at 7 p.m.

McMenemy grabbed a rebound with 12 seconds remaining in the second overtime and then was fouled and converted both her freebies. The Algonquin junior scored 14 points and senior forward Amanda Carroll tallied 19 points in the win.

Algonquin junior Emily Genga played a strong game on defense in the victory.

Leominster led 24-19 at halftime but the two teams were tied at 50 apiece after Algonquin sophomore Zibby Gibbons scored three of her 13 points on a 3-pointer as time ran out in regulation.

The score was 58-58 after the first overtime before the Tomahawks pulled a way in the end of double OT.

HOLY NAME 62, LINCOLN-SUDBURY 45: Senior forward Hannah Brodsky and senior forward Sofia Rosa played well, but No. 11 Lincoln-Sudbury (10-11) fell to sixth-seeded Holy Name in the first round of the Division 1 Central playoffs.

The Warriors kept it close early but fell behind 34-15 at halftime and 44-28 after three quarters.

“Our two Dual County League All-Stars, Hannah Brodsky and Sofia Rosa, were outstanding today but we made too many turnovers in the first half,” L-S coach Steve Connelly said. “We played fantastic in the second half but it was too little, too late.”

Holy Name led 47-30 with almost six minutes to play when L-S went on a run to close it to 49-38 with 2:35 on the clock.

“This playoff run was a learning experience for the young kids on the team,” said Connelly. “And it was great for the seniors to get to play in the tournament.”
